The Ospreys are dwindling on Long Island. This one stayed for 9/11. Today it posed for me from Lido Beach Passive Nature Area with the World Trade Center in the background. (Probably 20 miles away). @BirdQueens

It seems the American Avocet left the premises (Marine Nature Study Area) at noon. That left me with a few Green Herons, a couple of Yellow-crowned Night Herons, several Great Egrets, an Osprey, a Least Sandpiper and a Royal Tern. 1/2 @BirdQueens
